    Dr. Kimberly Biddle on Racism, Resilience & Raising Black Sons
    26 Oct 2026
    How do we raise Black boys to be confident, resilient, and proud of who they are in a world that often judges them unfairly? On this episode of Stop, Look & Listen, LeTroy Gardner welcomes author and professor emerita Dr. Kimberly Biddle to discuss her children's book As You Are, the inspiration behind its powerful message, and the importance of representation in children's literature.

    Dr. Biddle shares her personal experiences raising a Black son, the difficult conversations parents must have about racial bias, and why teaching children self-worth, hope, and resilience is essential. They also explore microaggressions, the challenges Black boys face in schools and society, and how literature can inspire understanding across racial and cultural backgrounds.
